GATHERING

I’m not advising here. I’m just sharing a picture of the School today as I am playing with mugwort. I blame @amyboo123 for this one as she introduced me a few weeks ago to it’s charms. Mugwort is from the Asteraceae family (which also includes ragweed) I have read it should be used with caution as some people can have reactions to this family of plants which include:

Stevia, Lettuce, Chicory, Pyrethrum, Sunflower, Daisy, Artichoke, Burdock, Thistle & Marigolds. The Asteraceae family is sometimes referred to as Compositae family.

I’m not entirely sure how this will be used …. Like I said I am playing ..

BREAD & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT TIP Nobody is perfect.

BREAD & WEIGHT MANAGEMENT TIP

Nobody is perfect. We’re all tempted by the good things in life but what if one of the good things was bread that is good for you?

We incorporate a wide range of seeds and grains into our bread here at the Sourdough School. Why? It’s about making bread that is good for you for help stabilise blood sugar, increase dietary fibre and that increases diversity ..which is good for your gut microbiome.

One of the things I was explaining last week to one of my students is that eating white bread triggers a large rise and fall in blood sugar and this can cause us to over consume calories over the course of the day and gain weight.

Whilst is there is a lot of encouragement to go gluten-free with low carb to loose weight this actually reduces gut microbial diversity by starving the microbes that munch on the many beneficial fibre is found in whole grains.

It is far better to increase fibre which helps moderate blood sugar response by incorporating wholegrain and seeds into your bread that avoiding it.

What’s more fermenting your bread further increasing the nutrient value as well as further slowing down blood response.

MULBERRY & ANISEED SOURDOUGH BATARDS - A seasonal

MULBERRY & ANISEED SOURDOUGH BATARDS - A seasonal recipe.
The very last of the mulberry tree treasure in the garden, here at the @Sourdoughschool. The combination of aniseed and mulberries is outstanding. We do appreciate that it is not possible for everyone to get hold of mulberries, so you can use blackberries, as they make a pretty close substitute.
Here at the Sourdough Club we let the seasons guild us in what we are baking, and at the moment the hedgerows and farmers markets are bursting with beautiful ingredients!

⏱CAN YOU MAKE SOURDOUGH IN 10 MINUTES?

FAST TO MAKE - SLOW TO FERMENT

It is easier to digest, more nutritious, and absolutely delicious, however it has a reputation for being tricky and time consuming. The traditional beautiful boule is iconic, but it is demanding, and most people do not have the skills or time to makes this, especially during the working week.

👆🏼 The amazing approach in this book is how @vanessakimbell has been teaching people at the school to bake sourdough to fit in with real life.

This book shares the method we teach here on how to long, slow, ferment everyday bakes using simple steps that take 10 minutes, so that you can actually bake and enjoy the most delicious bread in the world everyday.
